    More streaming from home options with “True History of the Kelly Gang” “Bad Education” & “Never Have I Ever!” While “True History of the Kelly Gang” tries to shine a light on Australian outlaw Ned Kelly, it may require a bit too much historical knowledge to resonate with everyone. George MacKay, Charlie Hunnam, Thomasin McKenzie,…

    Another week of quarantine so another week of streaming options, lots of unlikely team ups in “My Spy” and “Extraction” and some mindless fun with “The Midnight Gospel” and “Too Hot to Handle” on Netflix. You don’t have to be a government operative to see that not having to pay movie theater prices for “My…

    The most ambitious quarantine review yet, with 4 different options to watch from home: “Trolls World Tour” “Tigertail” “Selah and the Spades” and “The Other Lamb” – too bad none of them are exceptional. “Trolls World Tour” is a glorified technicolor animated music video with a lot of famous voices. Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Rachel…

    What’s up with Maine and crime? Character actress Margo Martindale is at it again in Amazon Studios “Blow the Man Down.” ​Crime, small towns, fish. This movie got a little overhyped for me but considering you have limited options these days it’s not a bad watch. Morgan Saylor, Sophie Lowe, June Squibb, Anette O’Toole, Marceline…

    Quarantine got you down? Then you probably don’t want to look to “Resistance” (a Marcel Marceau biopic) right about now but you may consider welcoming Netflix’s “The Stranger” home though. While it turns out famed mime Marcel Marceau had an incredibly interesting first act as a French Resistance fighter during WWII, alas this biopic does…

    More viewing from home options with “The Hunt” and the Netflix docu-series “Tiger King.” “The Hunt” is “The Most Dangerous Game” with a sprinkling of “The Hunger Games” … too bad it’s not as good as either of those things. Betty Gilpin, Emma Roberts, Hilary Swank, Ethan Suplee, Justin Hartley, Ike Barinholtz, and Glenn Howerton…

    This week brings two movies you can stream from the comfort of your home, “Big Time Adolescence” and “Swallow.” “Big Time Adolescence” features Pete Davidson as … well I assume Pete Davidson. It follows his character’s friendship with a high schooler. As far as watches from home it could be a welcome distraction. Griffin Gluck,…

    If something was going to tempt you to go to the movies this weekend, it certainly wasn’t going to be “Bloodshot.” ​It’s like someone stole every generic trope from every other comic book/other movie ever and jammed it all in to one. Vin Diesel, Eiza Gonzalez, Sam Heughan, Toby Kebbell, Guy Pearce, Lamorne Morris, and…

  • Review: Onward

    Pixar’s latest, “Onward” is a fine film, but struggles a bit with an identity crisis. I wanted “Onward” to make me laugh, and ugly cry. I got some chuckles and a little misty. However the material may resonate with some much more than it did with me. Overall still worth a watch! Chris Pratt, Tom…
